Reflection Paper On Gymnastics

Hey coaches, it’s Annicka. I just wanted to thank you all for being the best coaches ever!You've all not only taught me how to be a great gymnast, but a great person. Thank you so much for the great experience on being a gymnast. Throughout my time in gymnastics, I’ve made so many new, great friends at gymnastics!You've all pushed me to be a great athlete. I know it takes a lot of work and stress to be a coach, and all of you are amazing coaches and I thank you for caring about me, and my gymnastics. Gymnastics has really helped me in so many other sports! I have a lot of new opportunities to participate in other sports, and gymnastics has really helped me be a better athlete in all of them! But, i'm sorry to say that I am done with gymnastics.

Gymnastics is a very difficult sport that takes a lot of commitment. Many children take on gymnastics at a young age and strive to become Olympic gymnasts by competing their whole lives, but not a lot of people are able to pursue that dream due to the challenges that come with being a gymnast. Coaches are currently conditioning and training their gymnasts at very demanding and advanced levels. Although the sport has several positive health benefits on the body, it also puts gymnasts at a very high risk of injury. It is not very common for these injuries to be severe, however, if they are not treated properly it is likely for them to lead to chronic pain and even bone fractures.

According to Chris Mallac, the Sports Injury Doctor, gymnasts suffer many growth problems. This includes back problems. One problem includes Scheuermann's disease. One is diagnosed with this disease when the front portion of their back does not develop. In fact, gymnasts are commonly diagnosed because of the repetitive flexing and arching of the back. This disease leads to hunchback. Specifically, the spine starts to wedge out. Scheuermann's disease can take gymnasts out of the sport for periods of time to let their spine grow and function properly. Gymnasts are also commonly diagnosed with premature osteoporosis. This is when the bones weaken, leading to bone loss and severe back pain. These problems are caused because the back never has time

One of the extracurricular activities that made the most impact on my life is being a part of Pueblo Central Gymnastics. I joined the team my freshman year of high school. The practice were from 7-9 at night, and living two hours away, it made for quite a few long nights over the four years I participated. But through this experience, I have forever been impacted. I was able to improve my gymnastics career and make life long memories and friends. I was able to bring a sense of hard work and determination to the team. With the four hour round trip and late night practice, I had many people not only on my team but people from the community commend me on how much dedication and hard work I must be putting in to continue my gymnastics career.

Attention, all moms of Greece, NY! Has your child expressed an interest in recreational gymnastics, but is he or she is afraid to try?

Who has shown they can do anything? Who has won a total of 2 gold medals? That would be Gabby Douglas all time Olympic gymnast.

Hi! I’m Hannah! I thought it would be fun to create this quick google slides that is a little bit about me, your new classmate :)

To do something you love and instantly be great at it is a wonderful thing, however to do something you love but struggle with, and have to work hard to be great at is even more wonderful. Gymnastics was and still remains to be my passion, but looking at me now you would never guess that just a few years ago I was a shy girl who often became unsure of the sport. Not so much the sport, but herself. She felt as if she would never be good, she thought realistically saying "I'll never do anything great with this." Her goal was to be as good as the older girls and to become an amazing gymnast in the highest level of her gym, known as excel. She never felt like a gymnast, she only felt like she did gymnastics. Nevertheless, she persisted. She

I have never heard of the Mass Games the North Koreans put on until watching these videos. It was interesting to watch the amount of effort and dedication the North Koreans placed on making these games perfect. You could see that culture played a significant role for the gymnasts who were chosen to participate in these games. Leake & Black (2005) states that culture is values and behaviors that are shared by the same social group for generations (p. 17). From birth, these young ladies have been raised collectivistic culture, within this culture there primary purpose is passion and devotion for their leader, the General. For the gymnasts there motivation is to perform their best and hopefully be seen by the General.

The goal isn't to last forever, we will all die eventually, it's to create something that will last forever.I won first place at a state gymnastics meet. I worked my hardest every day i went to the gym to train and become the best i can be. There is never a dull moment doing what l love in how much time and effort i put into doing gymnastics.

“The biggest obstacle you will ever have to overcome is your mind. If you can overcome that, you can overcome anything.” I learned this from McKenna. I’m a gymnast and I also have trouble focusing in school. I learned from her that even though people can be so close to gymnastics they have to do good in school too. Your book was about this girl that was in gymnastics and got hurt. She thought that she wasn’t going to be able to compete. She figured out that her ankle got better and was able to compete. Your book changed me in ways that I never would have thought of before. One thing is that I pay more attention in school and make sure that my homework is done on time. Also make sure that I listen to my couch when she tells me that I can’t

I am a gymnast or was one.I had been doing gymnastics since I was about three. Our preschool class went to Flames Gym. I loved it so much I knew I wanted to go again. So my mom said “ They have a gymnastics program there and that might be pretty cool.” I knew that I wanted to do it so I did. So about 2 weeks after I started, I completed one level. Then a couple weeks later I did another one. Before I knew it, I was on the home team, which is a pretty big deal for me. That’s how I started gymnastics.

Before taking this class, I had only a quarter’s worth of modern experience under my belt, so when I entered this class, I had little idea what to expect. What I could not have expected, however, is how much of my growth in this class would challenge how I approach dance. As I finish spring quarter of my freshman year, I now have a new set of goals to work to achieve to continue working to improve my movement quality.

I have been playing tennis since I was 4 years old and it helped me to come to the United States to purse a Bachelor’s degree and be a student-athlete at a Division I team. I came here in Spring, 2014 and it was not easy at first for a few reasons. First of all, I came to the new country by myself and had to adapt to the new lifestyle and culture, and even taking classes in English was something different that I have experienced before. Secondly, because the tennis program has the season in the spring semester and we had a tough practice and competition schedule, I had to work on and improve my time management skills. Since the first semester I came to college, I decided to focus on three different areas: sports, academics, and social life.
